Anna Bednarek is a Clinical Psychologist and Psychologist based in St Leonards, NSW. You can find her at Suite 402, 460 Pacific Highway, St Leonards NSW 2065. She works with people who are going through tough times, whether that’s something happening right now or a pattern that’s been around for a while.
Anna offers individual therapy sessions, couples therapy, and family therapy. That means she can help when it’s mostly one person who needs support, but she can also help when relationships and home life are under strain. At times, anxiety can sit in the background for months. Other times it shows up suddenly and makes everything feel harder. In many cases, therapy helps you slow things down and make sense of what’s going on.
One of Anna’s main therapy approaches is cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). CBT is practical. It focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions often look at what you’re noticing day to day, what triggers your stress, and what coping skills might work better for you. Anxiety counselling is also part of the work she does, including helping with worries that feel constant, feeling on edge, or getting stuck in unhelpful thought loops.
Anna also understands that mental health can affect sleep, energy, work, and relationships. In therapy, the aim is usually to find clear, realistic steps you can try between sessions. Some people want tools they can use straight away. Others need time to talk things through and sort out what’s been building for a long time. Both approaches can be part of the process.
Languages can matter too. Anna speaks English and Polish, which can make sessions feel more comfortable if you prefer to talk in either language.
In terms of background, education details and work history are not listed here, so there’s no extra public information to share about training or years of experience. The same goes for research, publications, and clinical trials. If you want to know about any specific qualifications, ongoing professional work, or whether she’s involved in any trials, it’s best to ask directly when you book.
